1st August, 2024
Wombwell Town and Horbury Town are the only two sides to have won their opening two games in the 2024/25 Division One season following the second round of matches in midweek.
A Gavin Allott hat-trick helped Wombwell to a 4-1 home victory over Ilkley Town that sees them top the early table on goal difference.
Jack Dando grabbed the hosts' fourth whilst Daniel Smith got on the scoresheet for the away side to halve the deficit in the opening period.
Horbury, meanwhile, were 1-0 winners at South Leeds with James Cusworth grabbing the only goal of the game early in the second half to continue their perfect start to the campaign.
Harrogate Railway Athletic lead a group of four teams on four points following their 1-1 draw at Swallownest, Josh Lockwood with an equaliser midway through the second period after Alex Wonham had given the hosts a 35th minute lead.
Athersley Recreation, Dearne & District and Club Thorne Colliery are behind the Rail on goal difference.
The Rec won 3-0 at Yorkshire Amateur, Callum Clark, Alfie Bakes and Jordan Good with their goals, whilst a Jake Phillips brace helped Dearne & District to a 4-2 victory at Dronfield Town.
Joshua Dacre and Shay Evans-Booth added to their tally whilst there was a Mark Fereday penalty and a Max Rhodes strike for Dronfield.
And, Club Thorne Colliery drew 1-1 at Selby Town, Edward Dry's spot-kick rescuing a point for the home side after Jacob McLoughlin had broken the deadlock just before the half-hour mark.
Elsewhere, Armthorpe Welfare, Brigg Town and Louth Town picked up their first points of the season with away wins.
Alfie Charlotte put Armthorpe ahead at Nostell Miners Welfare but Curtis Broadhead equalised before the half-hour mark.
A Bradley Sparrow brace gave the visitors a 3-1 advantage early in the second period, Thomas Lavin pulled one back for the hosts and then Mitchell Pattinson struck to give the away side a 4-2 victory.
Brigg defeated Worsbrough Bridge Athletic 2-0, Harrison Coley and Brett Agnew with the goals for the Zebras on a night where home keeper Ross Pritchard suffered a broken leg and we wish him well for a speedy recovery.
Jack Ripley's injury-time equaliser saw Maltby Main take a point in a 1-1 draw at Shelley after Thomas Radley had given the hosts a 44th minute lead.
And, ground unavailability meant that Wakefield AFC's home clash with Glasshoughton Welfare was postponed.
